Q90

An environmental studies teacher asked his class III children to visit the school garden and collect different types of leaves. Which of the following process skills does the teacher want to develop among children?

  1. (1) Observation and classificationCorrect answer
  2. (2) Only experimentation
  3. (3) Only classification
  4. (4) Creative expression and experimentation with leaves

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) Observation and classification

  1. To collect different types of leaves, children must look closely at shape, size, colour and edges (observation).
  2. They then sort leaves into types by these features (classification).

Trap: 'only' in (2) and (3) is too narrow, and no experiment is done here.
